The United States Embassy in Nigeria has resumed application of the Drop Box service or interview waiver in Nigeria.
Nigeria was removed from the waiver eligibility in 2018.
The Drop Box visa renewal programme allows certain visa applicants who have previously been issued US visas to renew their visas without attending an interview.
A recent announcement by the Embassy states that to qualify for the interview waiver, visa applicants must be applying to renew either a B1/B2, an F, an L, or an H visa.
It adds that they must also satisfy all of the criteria for their visa class, and if applying as a group or family, all members must fulfil each criteria to use the programme.
Also, applicants who are 79 years and older, automatically qualify for the interview waiver although they are still required to apply and print a copy of their interview waiver letter through the schedule platform.
